Absolutely incredible!! I had previously watched a few randoms eps of season 1 and 2 out of order a while ago but I did myself a great favor by watching this season from front to back! What a incredible and brilliant show!! I cant wait to start the rest of the series asap. I dont think season 1 was as good as season 1 of The Sopranos but I have to say that it was an amazing season! What a series! I am going to be starting season 2 on Monday 8)

Amazing show.I never got into until this year as well.So far I bought the first three seasons.Season three is my favorite so far I've already rewatched all three twice.
-
Oh fuck man, you're in for a treat with Season 3 and 4
-
Just don't watch season 5. It's a waste of time.
-
series 4 of the wire was one of the best series of all time
-
I dint get hooked
-
great show, cant deny that. Sopranos > Wire. all day errry day. :bandit:
-
One of my favorite shows ever. I always liked the first season the most.

Well yeah nothing touches Sopranos but I loved the first season of the Wire
-
HBO just can't lose. From the Wire to Sopranos to Oz to Arliss, they've always put out really good quality television shows.
-
To me, The Wire is tied with The Shield as the most brilliantly written crime drama show ever. The Wire is like Menace II Society to The Shield's Boyz In The Hood. The Wire is more gritty and has a certain top-notch realness factor that cant be duplicated, whereas The Shield has that well-crafted dramatic story arc that pans so well.
But I have to agree that Season 5 is weak.
-
haha every time someone posts something about the wire or the sopranos, the "best TV series of all time" starts.
for me its:
1. sopranos
2. the shield
2. the wire
4. lost
imagine if the shield or lost would of been on hbo?! :o

Season two was the best without a doubt. Nick Sobotka = a real nigga.

Here's how I rate The Wire seasons:
3
1
4
5
2
The Wire is tied with Sopranos.
The Shield following right behind, but then again I haven't seen the last Shield season yet, which is supposed to be crazy.
-
I never really got in to the shield. The whole prime time cable packaging just felt fake to me. If it were on HBO, no doubt it would rival the wire.

I don't know if it's bias or a lack of intelligence on your part but season 2 is arguably the best season, and at the very least just behind 1 and 4. To rate Season 5, the worst HBO season in history, better than 2 is insane. What is your reasoning for this?
-
Season 3 is my favorite.
I'm gonna watch the whole series again after the baseball season. Love that show.

Judging by the grades in my recent psych. & law exams, I think we can safely rule out the second part. :loser:
Season 2 was good, but didn't match up to the others. How anybody can rate it above season 3, would need further clarification.
Maybe it's the lack of interest for fat Polish dock workers; I guess I just find the intricate business of street drug-dealing more intriguing.
Season 5 was kinda odd, but had some brilliant parts.

So bias it is. I don't know shit about Polish dock workers or the Greek drug shipping trade but the way in which it was tackled was nothing short of brilliant. It was so well written. It also showed a new twist on the drug game that we were introduced to in season 1. Seasons 1,2 and 4 are about a tie for me. Three didn't really say anything and what it did say it went too far with. The beauty of this show was how simple, subtle, and realistic it was. Dedicating most a of a season to an entire section of a major city where drugs were legal was ridiculous, and certainly not simple, subtle, or realistic. It broke the tone of the show to say something that easily could have been said in better way.
Season 5 was a complete disgrace and a spit in the face to every fan of the show.

In order of series id go 4, 3, 1, 2, 5.

Where do you go to school?

The theme they play during the ending credits is incredible, the best beat I have ever heard. I just watched the first two episodes of season 2, the show definitely has a weird feel to it right now.

Yeah, that ending music is great. Goddamn i just might watch the show from the start one of these days. I like season 1 and 3 the best though.
-
need something to watch badly, so i finally took the plunge and am downloadin season 1.

What do you mean by weird?
-
I just finished the first two episodes of season 2 also (but second go around through the series).
Love how McNulty sticks all those murders on Rawls. He couldn't get under Rawls skin any more. Season 2 is pretty good but 3 is the best in my opinion.
-
^^LOL yeah I love when Mcnulty tries to get back at Rawls. I still havnt watched the next episodes but I have the next 2 discs from season 2 coming in my netflix tomorrow. So far the show just has a different vibe to it in the beginning of season 2, I think it is the docks and also the fact that avon and stringer arent both on the street that feels a little wierd to see.

You have to remember that the main character of the show is Baltimore. Even McNulty goes away for a while the series. Season 2 shows you another side of the city and how it has been destroyed. And it does it as good as ever.
Season 3 and season 5 just take the fiction too far for me. That's why they're my least favourite. Yeah it's nice to tie up the story of the streets in a sense but it got too preachy. Season 5 was just a joke and has no business being mentioned.
